Random thoughts and opinions based on the Today Show video:
It took Casey 31 days before she was forced to admit that her daughter was missing. Casey probably would have never reported Caylee missing if Cindy hadn't forced her to.
You cannot dismiss a case just because there is only circumstantial evidence.
I am a little worried about the fact that they said juries usually want DNA evidence to answer their reasonable doubts before convicting somebody based on circumstantial evidence. I don't think the perpetrator should be rewarded for getting lucky that it took six months to find the body.
It is weak that LKM explained the partying away by saying people do stupid things all the time.

Casey's Defense Tries To Discredit Prosecution's Case
Posted: 1:32 pm EDT October 2, 2009
Updated: 3:10 pm EDT October 2, 2009
ORLANDO, Fla. -- The defense team in the case against Casey Anthony went on a media blitz Friday, appearing on network morning shows, trying to discredit the prosecution's case against their client.
Casey's attorneys went on national television Friday morning with a clear message. That someone else killed Caylee Anthony.
Jose Baez and Linda Kenney-Baden were on the Today Show, saying new evidence released by the state proves the prosecution doesn't have a real case against Casey.
"Of all the evidence that they have, nothing. The fibers that were on the duct tape do not connect her to the crime scene. Nothing, there's no finger print evidence. There's nothing that connects her to this crime scene," Kenney-Baden said.
On Good Morning America, another member of the defense, Todd Macaluso said the same thing (watch interview).
"Not a single hair fiber, not a single fingerprint, not a single speck of DNA," Macaluso said.
Her attorneys say if scientific evidence was found connecting Casey to Caylee's murder, it would have already come out in the nearly 10,000 pages of evidence released by the state.
"If it were Casey Anthony's hair they'd say that, that's our culprit right there," Kenney-Baden said.
However, when they were faced with hard evidence from an FBI email about an incriminating photo of a stain in Casey's car trunk, they brushed it off.
"Any suggestion that there was a body in the trunk is junk science," Macaluso said.
Also, Casey's defense team had no explanation for their client's behavior while her daughter was missing.
"What needs to come out is the truth and that will come out at trial," Jose Baez said.
The defense team filed new motions Wednesday to have the first-degree murder charge and the aggravated child abuse charges against Casey thrown out.
Jose Baez says he hopes the court will consider their motion and dismiss both charges.

Casey Anthony's Lawyers: FBI Botched Case
Call for Main Charges Against Fla. Woman Accused of Killing her Two-Year-Old Daughter to Be Dropped
Oct. 2, 2009
(CBS/AP) Attorneys for a Florida woman charged with killing her 2-year-old daughter are questioning the handling of evidence in the case and calling for first degree murder and abuse charges against her to be dropped. That would effectively take the possibility of an eventual death penalty off the table.
Casey Anthony's lawyers filed the motions a day after the State Attorney's Office released hundreds of pages of documents related to the case.
Anthony's attorneys said prosecutors can't prove first-degree murder was committed or that Anthony ever abused her daughter, Caylee.
"Specifically, the state cannot establish whether Caylee Anthony's death was accidental, natural, or the result of an intentional or negligent homicide," they said.
On "The Early Show" Friday, Todd Macaluso, a lawyer for Casey, said bluntly, "Casey Anthony is innocent, she will be proven innocent. The state has not produced any evidence whatsoever to prove their case. The case should be dismissed."
The 23-year-old woman has pleaded not guilty and claimed that a baby sitter kidnapped Caylee.
The toddler's remains were found last December, five months after she was reported missing, in woods near the home where she lived with her mother and grandparents. Although the death was ruled a homicide, a specific cause was never determined.
Meanwhile, an attorney for Anthony's parents released an FBI forensics report that he said shows duct tape found with Caylee's remains doesn't match duct tape found at the Anthony home, key evidence in the state's case.
The forensics report released by attorney Brad Conway appeared to contradict an earlier report that had determined the tape on the skull and that found on gas cans at the Anthonys' house originated from the same roll of tape.
Also in focus -- DNA found on the tape that doesn't match any member of the Anthony family, but is a match for an FBI lab technician who handled it.
"If there's an FBI analyst's DNA on a piece of tape that's a critical piece of evidence, that's bad news for the prosecution," says CBS News legal analyst Lisa Bloom.
Forensic tests on Casey's car revealed the presence of chloroform, and evidence of human decomposition. But an internal FBI e-mail cited by Casey's lawyers says hair found in the car that's microscopically similar to Caylee's isn't from her.
The defense argues much of the case is circumstantial, and there's a lack of physical evidence implicating Casey in her daughter's murder.
On "The Early Show", co-anchor Maggie Rodriguez asked Macaluso and fellow Casey Anthony defense attorney Jose Baez how they will "explain the fact that Casey did not report her daughter missing for a month, that she was out partying when Caylee was supposedly missing, and that she lied to investigators trying to help her find Caylee?"
Baez responded, "We feel that Casey has a very compelling reason for her actions, and we plan on laying them out at trial. That's the proper place for us to lay out a defense."

Re: KC Anthony's Attorneys Speaking Out - 10-2-09
Was There Impression Of Child's Body in Casey's Car?
Attorneys Argue Against Evidence On 'Today"
POSTED: 11:08 am EDT October 2, 2009
UPDATED: 4:35 pm EDT October 2, 2009
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Jose Baez and the Casey Anthony defense team criticized the state's evidence on a national stage on Friday.
They said there is nothing linking Anthony to the Orange County crime scene where her daughter Caylee's body was found in December 2008.
On NBC's Today show, Baez and Linda Kenney Baden pointing out the lack of any science linking Anthony to the area along Suburban Drive where someone dumped Caylee.
"You need something that connects her to the crime scene," said Kenney.
Casey Anthony remains in Orange County Jail and is charged with first-degree murder in connection with Caylee's death. Her trial is scheduled for 2010.
But Baez and Kenney Baden did not mentioned Anthony car truck and the new revelation investigators have a photograph they believe shows the impression of a child's body in the truck.
Newly released e-mails between FBI lab analysts suggest they have a photograph taken of the stain in the trunk liner. Within the stain, they say an impression emerged they believe was a child's body in the fetal position.
Investigators also say they have hair and air-sample evidence of human decomposition from the trunk.
Defense attorney Richard Hornsby said evidence from her car alone suggests Anthony knows how Caylee died and what happened to her body.
"Casey never said it was stolen and when she abandoned it and her own parents go find it, there's smell of death," Hornsby said.
Baez said the truth about what happened will come out at trial -- if we ever get to that point.
